Very true about overwork. I would be less burned out if I worked more, or was allowed to be more productive. For me burnout is about powerlessness in work, the feeling that no matter what I do I won't be able to make a positive impact.

"burnout is about powerlessness" I think is a succinct but adequate way to put it, at least from my perspective.
